You may recall that we congratulated Jamie and Viri last year on the occasion of their wedding. Jamie was never one to waste much time… Last Wednesday, February 24th (one day before my own Mom’s Birthday) they welcomed their new daughter, Citlali Alejandra, into the world. (Citlali is the Aztec word for Star according to Jamie – I was under the impression it was Nahuatl… but I could be mistaken 🙂 ).
Citlali - Jamie and Viri's new baby girl
Either way it’s a lovely name, and a beautiful baby… she weighed in at 3.295 Kg (about 7.25 lbs) and was born at 1 in the afternoon (very considerate of her!).
So… Congratulations (again) to Jamie and Viri! We all wish you the best with your new baby.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride!
Hi guys!,
Many thanks for the post, it’s really nice of you.
You’re right, it’s from the Nahuatl language and from what I understand it’s a name used by the Aztecs – I may be wrong. The Aztecs spoke Nahuatl, right?

You’re welcome!
You got me curious, so I had to look it up. From wikipedia:
“Nahuatl has been spoken in Central Mexico since at least the 7th century AD.[5] It was the language of the Aztecs, who dominated what is now central Mexico during the Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerican chronology.”
So you were right, they are effectively the same thing. Thanks for making me learn something!
